Energy Efficiency Technician Apprenticeship Program

MAGJC is proud to be partnered with the Asian American Civic Association, who will host the first community-based Energy Efficiency Technician Apprenticeship Program in the Boston area. This pilot program will start in June 2010! Applications are now being accepted. Read on for further details!

The US Department of Labor, Division of Apprenticeship Training has supported the Mass. Green Jobs Coalition, in collaboration with Jonah DeCola of Clean and Smart LLC and the Asian American Civic Association (AACA), in our efforts to help address the need for a community based apprenticeship program. As a result of this collaboration, a new apprenticeship program for energy efficiency technicians has been developed. Beginning in June 2010, we are proud to announce that AACA, a SkillWorks grant recipient, will be the first pilot in the Boston area for this new apprenticeship program. However, this will become a National Apprenticeship program, and any qualifying organization will be able to sponsor this training in the future.

Energy Efficiency Technician Apprenticeship Program

The Energy Efficiency Technician Apprenticeship Program (EETAP) is an apprenticeship program designed to train certified energy efficiency professionals. The Energy Efficiency Technician occupation combines the skills of an energy auditor and basic weatherization skills (i.e. basic air sealing, pipe insulation, changing light bulbs/plumbing fixtures, etc.).

The main component of the program is a one-year apprenticeship that combines 2,200 hours of on-the-job training with approximately 171 hours of classroom instruction.EETAP also includes a pre-apprenticeship math prep course for those that need extra math instruction.

The culmination of the program is taking the Building Performance Institute (BPI) Building Analyst Certification exam.

The official starting date for the Energy Efficiency Technician Apprenticeship Program is June 14, 2010!

Testing for EETAP is every Tuesday at 2:00 P.M at AACA, 87 Tyler St, Boston, MA 02111.
